Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️

Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!

This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter and also the longest we had ever been away from them, so we were understandably a little nervous. Our dogs can be very anxious and reactive around new people, but by the end of her stay they absolutely loved Staci. Staci was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and proactive throughout the entire time we were away. She kept a close eye on anything that seemed even slightly out of the ordinary and always kept us informed. We especially appreciated the many photos and updates she sent each day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and their well-being. We came home to two happy, comfortable pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend Staci to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.

Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!

About: I’ve been animal lover for as long as I can remember. From reptiles to puppies to birds I treat every animal with love and respect. Due to never having an ideal living situation to be caring pets, I’ve never had a pet of my own. However, I’ve always been surrounded by my friends, families, coworkers and neighbors pets. I have watched cared for their pets at my home, their home and even just out and about many times over the years. This has given me experience with a countless amount of pets of all kind and I fall in love with each and every one! I’d love to spread that love a little further to all who will allow me to share :) I work a part-time job at the moment and I’m looking to fill my extra time with something I love. I’ll have more than enough time to devote my utmost attention to your loved one! I’m also athletic myself so even the high energy fur balls get the best of me! I am very big on boundaries and structure. I will make sure to follow any guidelines that you already have in place for your pet.

About: I’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. I’m generally available most weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to body language, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

Kathy knows her business and has a natural connection with dogs. Our little Chihuahua mix is very shy with strangers, but Kathy gave her a "massage" that immediately won her over. We were very comfortable knowing Kathy was taking care of our dog and two cats for the holidays. Highly recommended.

This was our first time booking with Amanda and our first time using Rover in a long while. Amanda was amazing with our two very anxious little Chihuahua-mixed pups! She was a terrific communicator from the moment we reached out to her to set up the “meet and greet” till the end of her weekend stay while we were away! Amanda not only took incredible care of our two pups, sent us beautiful pictures of our dogs throughout the weekend, but also took great care of our home! We will absolutely have no hesitation to reach out to Amanda again when the need arises!!

Alexa is a diamond in the rough. While hesitant, having never used Rover nor had someone other than immediate family watching Buddy, and with a trip closing in, Alexa came in the clutch and went beyond and beyond my expectations for my nearly 17-year-old senior Buddy. One to two years ago, Buddy would have been a breeze to watch. Now, his hind legs, mind, and bladder (no accidents for over 16 years) aren't the same as before, and he requires more attention. Alexa provided that attention, and some. Cleaning up his accidents, picking him up onto the couch or bed (he refuses to sleep anywhere else), letting him out as soon as she could, hanging out with him outside, cleaning up after herself and Buddy, following guidelines, and way more than I can fit in this review. Alexa is very communicative too, providing updates and pictures. All in all, Alexa rocks, and I'm happy I found someone who cares just as much about Buddy as I do. Book her, you won't regret it!

Kelly did an amazing job taking care of my 10-year-old Frenchie, Little Dragon (Cookie). She was very communicative throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cookie has a specific routine and some care needs, and Kelly handled everything with attention and care. I could tell Cookie was comfortable and in good hands the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the level of responsibility she showed. I would absolutely book with Kelly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.
